• Never bend, drop, drill, weld, manipulate, or hammer the refrigerant system. Doing so can cause the system to rupture, releasing chemicals that can irritate eyes and skin. • This refrigerator has sharp edges and corners at the rear. Use care when working on this refrigerator. To prevent cuts or abrasions, wear cut resistant gloves. be strong enough to support the combined weight of the refrigerator and its food load. • Never install the refrigerator directly on carpeting.
In Canada: a. Current CGA B149.1 and CGA B149.2 installation code for Propane Appliances and Equipment. b. Current CSA Z240.4.2 Installation Requirement for Propane Appliances and Equipment in Recreational Vehicles. c. Current CSA Z240.6.2/C22.2 No. 148 Electrical Requirement for Recreational Vehicles. When installed, the refrigerator must be electrically grounded in accordance with Canadian Electrical Code C22.2 Parts 1 and 2.
The air passage from the intake vent to the refrigerator coils and from the refrigerator coils through the exhaust vent must be unobstructed. The vents for this refrigerator have been certified by A.G.A. and CGA and must be installed as directed in this manual without modification. Any deviation or substitution: 1. Can result in carbon monoxide levels in the living space of the vehicle. 2. Will void the agencies’ certifications. 3. Will void the refrigerator warranty. 4.
A.G.A. and CGA certification permits installing the refrigerator with zero (0) inches clearance between the refrigerator and any adjacent walls. This certification does not specify any maximum clearance. However, to insure adequate air flow across the cooling system, the clearances must be minimized. The recommended clearances between the refrigerator and any adjacent walls or surfaces are illustrated in Figure 3.
Combustion Seals Inspection and Trim Piece Installation NOTE: Seals must be continuous between the vehicle’s wall and the mounting flanges to assure a complete combustion seal. Combustion seals are attached to the back surface of the mounting flanges (top, bottom, and both sides). These seals isolate the products of combustion from the vehicle’s living space. When installing or removing the refrigerator, insure that the seal strips are not disturbed.
Route the gas supply piping to limit the possibility of vibration and abrasion. The gas supply piping should enter the refrigerator enclosure near the gas connection at the rear of the refrigerator. The hole through which the gas piping enters should be of sufficient size (approximately 1/2 inch diameter) to provide adequate clearance for the piping.
The distance the current travels from the battery to the refrigerator dictates the wire size. Undersized wire can result in a voltage drop, which will affect the wattage output of the DC heater and result in reduced refrigerator performance. Norcold recommends the installation of a fuse in the supply wiring between the battery and the refrigerator. For optimum protection, install the fuse as close to the battery as possible.
Installation Requirements Flame Failure Safety Device Check Out The purpose of the gas safety device is to prevent escape of unburned gas from burner if the burner flame is extinguished. While there is a flame present at burner, disconnect one wire from gas solenoid valve located at rear of refrigerator. Within 30 seconds, flame will go out, indicating the safety lock-out circuit is operational. Reconnect wire to the gas solenoid valve upon completion of test.
Lighting Instructions - 9100 Series Note: 12 volt DC must be available for both the Auto and Manual modes. A B C D E Figure 9 2. Manual Mode - Press and hold MODE selection button until AUTO LED disappears and LP GAS LED is the only LED illuminated. LP GAS LED will remain illuminated until an alternate mode is selected or the refrigerator is turned off.
